Explore the untold epic of ancient Greece! "A fantastical adventure of mortal rebellion and divine games. Recommended!" -Historical Novels Review "An eminently readable and enthralling epic!" -L.E. Harper, author of Kill Your Darlings ¿ When a madman seizes the throne, the gods on Olympus fall silent, and the island of Helinthia descends into decay. Dargos believes these events are no coincidence and persuades Kelric and Gadnor to join him in a rebellion against the tyrant king, hoping to earn favor with the gods and restore prosperity to their ravaged lands. Confident of their purpose, they embark on a journey to rally support for war, leaving Dargos' sister, Gonivein, safe behind the walls of Shallinath. But the king's spies have been watching, waiting for the right moment to strike and make the rebels an example for their treasonous ideas. Turmoil follows their footsteps, and they're confronted with the terrifying truth that not all who dwell on Olympus desire Helinthia's recovery. Some will stop at nothing to plunge the island deeper into chaos. Just when hope seems lost, one emerges with a dark secret that could bring peace to Helinthia-but at what cost? "An amazing debut filled with gods and goddesses, heroes and villains, love and loss, blood and tears: everything a fantasy novel needs to keep readers turning the page late into the night!" -Maria V. Snyder, New York Times Bestselling author of The Poison Study "The deft composition of intricate plot, engaging characters, and brisk pace lures readers in like the strings of Apollo's lyre and refuses to let them go." -The Bookish Historian
